The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop POR 15

Trying to get more info. Thanks to Achipmunk for giving me Eastwood info. I am looking for alternatives to POR15. Any body have any preferences, like or dislikes?

Go for Zerorust instead.

I like ZeroRust also. It seems a little easier to work with and leaves a great finish

I just did my floor boards with zerorust, worked good, easy to use.

I'll chime in as a Zero Rust user as well. But I am a little nervous. I have done frame, floor boards and cab bottom in Zero Rust. It is easy to work with and realatively cheap. I just worry every day that it will not hold up as claimed. I am doing a complete resto of my '50 and I would hate to see a rusty frame a couple years down the road. Of course I am not worried enough to go to the expense of powder coating or expensive primers and paint. I do hope I don't regret this. Anyone have some long term experience with Zero Rust?

Nifty,
ODOT has been doing their bridge maintenance painting on the coast bridges for quite a few years with Zero Rust and the Port of Seattle is using it everywhere they can think of around the port. This restoration usage is a side light to our major business which is industrial rust control. I figured that if ZR will protect industrial equipment in a coast environment, it ought to protect Aunt Edna's old Studebaker.....

Oh and in the state of Michigan, ZR can be had through any of the Auto Value jobbers.

Might be a good product, but by looking at their web site its hard to get without going after a third party to buy it. I can get POR-15 at a dozen places, mailed right to my door.

To each his own and I've used a lot of stuff over the years including the Por15. But for my two cents worth how long do each of us expect to live?? On my 37 I blasted the chassis, primed with wally world rust-oleum, and then painted with a good grade black rattle can. Just the past two months I have been making some modifications to my tranny and doing and re-doing the bed etc and found that the chassis has held up very well. I do keep it parked in the garage but it has been driven quite regularly and in the rain etc. It has held up well. That said its what you personally want. I think we can sometimes overkill trying to get the best but in the long run its not worth it. I realize the "location" of where you live also has a lot to do with it but a GOOD job using whatever product should last a long long time if its done right. Again, if money is no issue(it was for me!) then let you pocketbook be your guide. This is just food for thought and my .02 cents. When I die the next person will want to do their own thing with it so let them spend the big bucks?!!

''my two cents worth how long do each of us expect to live??''
just a little bit of work to the truck each day and we'll get her done

I agree but do what you have to to make yourself happy

''my two cents worth how long do each of us expect to live??''

As a further point..be carefull when spraying certain paints. POR-15 contains Isocyanate which is down right deadly if you do not wear the correct saftey equipment. Anything that has isocyanate in it requires breathing equipment that provides air from an external source away from the painting area. A standard repirator "will not" filter out isocyanate. It can do permanent damage to your lungs and nervous system with minimum exposure.

I'd rather let my truck rust than seriously injure myself. When ever you buy automotive paints, request a MSDS.

Here's the one for POR-15
